I have a radian 100 installed FF drivers side in a 2006 Acura TSX for my 5 yr old DS
noticed a recent issue, not sure if this is normal or a problem
if I tighten the straps by pulling up (which is easier as space is tight) the locking cam does not always always automatically engage, leaving the straps able to loosen under even light pressure. Pushing down on the cam does fully engage it leaving things secure again. if I tighten by pulling down, the cam engages every time.
I am not sure if this is just a case of following a different procedure for strapping in but it worries me as one time I missed the checking step and DS informed me his straps were not locked as we pulsed away. I am afraid I could miss it again and be unaware he is not properly protected.
is this normal for a radian?
is there a fix?
should I replace the seat or report the issue, if so to whom?
I live in Canada
all our other seats are Britax type (frontier, boulevard, marathon) and I have never seen this issue before on any of them.
